Why the Air Jordan 3 remains so popular
The AJ3 is the model that kept Michael Jordan with the brand — the story is well known, but the shoe itself is every bit as convincing. Tinker Hatfield’s 1988 design introduced elephant print, visible Air and a lower cut that sits comfortably around the ankle. It’s a sneaker that combines history and wearability: low enough for an easy stride, iconic enough to be instantly recognisable. That balance is precisely why the AJ3 appears in every serious collection.
The story behind the Bin23
Bin23 refers to the more exclusive, premium branch of the Jordan line — releases that receive extra attention when it comes to materials and finishing. This IO7744-600 fits that tradition: carefully finished leather, neatly executed elephant print and detailing you truly appreciate once you have it in your hands. It isn’t a loud colorway, but one that relies on quality. For those who look beyond the standard colorways, that is exactly the appeal.
Who is this shoe for?
This is an AJ3 for anyone who wants something a little more special and is willing to pay for it. Given its premium direction, it looks best with well put-together clothing — tailored trousers, a understated jacket — so the finish can take centre stage. I see it less as an everyday beater and more as a shoe you put on deliberately. Personally, I’d save it for occasions when I want to wear something finished down to the last detail.

My verdict
I’m pragmatic about prices, and a premium AJ3 requires a considered decision. But if you appreciate fine finishing and the Bin23 speaks to you, you get a shoe that genuinely reflects that investment. Would I wear it myself? Yes — but carefully, and only after comparing the prices on the right. In this segment, that really can make a difference.
